The electric cord for my bmw heated vest got damaged. My local bmw dealer refered me to a company called Widder, that they were the company that made the vest for bmw. I went to their web page and see they went out of business. Does anybody know any other source for replacement cords for the bmw electric vest?

Here is a link to a supplier that appears to still have a bunch of Widder product. Get it while you can I guess.

I have no affiliation with this company nor have I ever purchased from them.
Another option would be to have the gang at Eastern Beaver would make you one.

thanks for suggestions on replacement vest cord
Thanks for all the suggestions, I was able to get a replacement cord from i-bike. The old cord was never salvageable. When I got the cord new, a friend who has the same vest said the 1st thing you need to do is to strech the coiled cord so it won't be pulling itself out of the clips on the vest. Before I could say no, he had the cord streched to about 5 feet. Well....the cord pulled out of the vest anyway and now that it was stretched so long, it immideitely got tangled in the rear wheel. End of cord. I think I'll hide the new cord from my friend!
